High odds soccer predictions for underdogs

Gent hosts Real Betis in a very intriguing clash from the playoffs of the Conference League. Let’s preview it in our High odds soccer predictions for underdogs. Are you ready?

Both teams were among the favorites to qualify for the 1/8-finals directly, but some inconsistency made them play at the playoffs. Gent finished 17th in the league stage while Real Betis ended their campaign at 15th place.

Gent are one of the best Belgian teams. There are some interesting players in the squad such as Japan’s Atsuki Ito, Switzerland’s Franck Surdez, England’s Max Dean and Nigeria’s Jordan Torunarigha.

The young English striker Max Dean is Gent’s top scorer in the Belgian First Division A this season. The 20-years old talent has 6 goals since the beginning of the season. If he succeed at Gent, Max Dean could open the door for a move to a bigger club in near future.

Real Betis do not need any introduction – they are one of the very good Spanish teams, currently coached by the legendary Manuel Pellegrini. Some might say that Betis are favorites against Gent, but pay attention – they were not fully convincing in the Conference League this season.

Betis’ problems are related to their current form. The Andalusians won just one of their last six games in all competitions. This means that Pellegrini’s team is not at its best shape at the moment.

Antony is the exciting new signing in Real Betis’ squad. The Brazilian winger arrived from Manchester United in January and already won two Man of the Match awards in La Liga. Gifted with some pace, technique and dribbling ability, Antony will be a huge danger for Gent’s defense.

That’s the High odds soccer predictions for underdogs for the Conference League match between Gent and Real Betis on Thursday. Let’s see if the Spaniards can prove that they are favorites for the win here.
